The Dubai Loop represents an advanced underground transit system that will revolutionize city transport through its development in Dubai. The project emerged on the third day of World Government Summit (WGS) 2025 after The Boring Company and Dubai Roads and Transport Authority formed a partnership with Elon Musk.
The Crown Prince of Dubai Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum proclaimed the Dubai Loop as a massive advancement in mobility because it facilitates rapid emissions-free service between densely populated urban zones.
